Alex Cameron
I am Alex Cameron , I am a Director and a Volunteer at A Positive Start, initially volunteering in the Community Thrift Shop since
July 2023. I have lived in Hawick for the past five years after relocating from Edinburgh
where I lived, studied and worked for over 25 years. I have a Degree in Publishing from Edinburgh Napier
University and my background was originally in Print and Website publishing where I was
employed mainly in the Higher Education sector. Over the past ten years I have diversified and have
started a couple of small businesses in the historical tours and cycling sector where I still
occasionally work as a freelance cycle trainer. It was my love of the great outdoors that prompted
me to live in a rural location. I also love cycling and walking and there is an abundance of inspiring
scenery in the Scottish Borders. I also believe that these activities and nature can also greatly help to
improve our mental health and well-being and make us feel more connected.
